Cooking with Kids: Ricotta Bake
I love meal ideas that let the kids be involved in the process. This Ricotta Bake by Just Jenn looks tasty and simple to put together. Jenn Says: This is one of my favorite meals. Why? Because I have the kids do most of the work. If your kids are old enough (and you have the right mindset of letting go of mess) why not let the kids mix and stir and pour?
